FOR SHAME OF DOING WRONG
As recorded by Richard Thompson on "Faithless" (2004)

It seems like a lifetime since I saw you.
Lover, lover. I've been away too long.
When I see lovers holdings hands and sighing,
I hang my head for shame of doing wrong.

Bus wheels spinning, songbirds singing break my heart,
Take me back to old remembered days,
Remind me of the times we spent together,
Times before we went our separate ways.
I wish I was a fool for you again.
I wish I was a fool for you again.

I'm sorry for the things I've said, the things I've done.
I'm sorry for the restless thief I've been.
Oh, please don't make me pay for my deceiving heart.
Just turn up your lamp and let me in.
I wish I was a fool for you again.
I wish I was a fool for you again.
I wish I was a fool for you again.
I wish I was a fool for you again,
And I wish I was a fool for you again.
